Utah Valley Marathon & Half Marathon (GIVEAWAY!)

Last week, the Utah Valley Marathon
reached out to me and offered me a couple free race entries and
discount codes for my lucky readers!

Utah is definitely on me and Paul's “to
visit” list, but we already made summer vacation plans. But my loss
is your gain! Hopefully you can take advantage of one of the free race entries or discount codes!**Note: I do get a very small kickback if you use the discount code, but that is not my motivation for sharing this deal with you. I am just hoping that there are people who plan to run this race that can get one of the free entries or a bit of a discount**As I searched the race website, I realized this race has something for everyone! Not only is there a marathon distance, but also a half and 10k.The race starts in Provo Canyon. Google Image Provo Canyon. I dare you! It's just an hour from Salt Lake City.The Utah Valley Marathon was named a TOP 10 race in America by Runner’s World Magazine in 2014. Because this is the 10 year anniversary, they are giving out a nice race jacket instead of a shirt. The course is a super fast downhill, which could be perfect for a BQ. And if you're into bling, the race medals are very large.

Since I am not techno savvy at all, this is how I will do the giveaway... The
first TWO people to comment on THIS POST who express interest in the free
entry will receive one free entry. I will simply email you the code.

As for the 15%, I am able to give that code to all of my readers! When registering, use the code MGR15 for 15% off!

Don't forget to comment if you want one of the free entries!Also, feel free to share this info with anyone you know who lives in Utah and may want to run this race!

We were also contacted about a free race entry and about giving some away as well but I know so many other bloggers who are giving it away and it didn't seem to be a race that people are lining up to run so we didn't bother mentioning it...lol. However, if you end up having more than 2 readers that are interested, let me know and I'll give you our code to share as well.

I won't be able to do this race this year but it does sound like a good one, We are already traveling to Cleveland for a race in May, and cant justify traveling that far for anything less than a marathon. I do want to visit Utah one day though!

It would have been perfect if we decided to vacation there this summer, but it is Paul's choice and he chose NoCal, which I am super excited for! I really wish I lived more in the center of the country. It would be cheaper to fly places!

YAY! Okay, one free entry is yours! I can email you the code if you give me your email address. You can either leave it here in a comment, or if you would rather not have it public and just email me- runningmeg82@yahoo.com I will give to you today!

We definitely hope to make it to Utah at some point! It is such a big state with so much to see!

Wow Meg I would love to run this race. I started running at the beginning of last year and I have gained up the courage, and stupidity, to attempt a full marathon. I have been told this one is the best marathon race in the state! I hope to win this so I can do my first full marathon. Thanks

YAY! Entry #2 is yours!!!!!! I can email you the code if you give me your email address. You can either leave it here in a comment, or if you would rather not have it public and just email me- runningmeg82@yahoo.com I will give to you today! Your first marathon? That is so exciting!

Oh wow, what a great giveaway! That totally beats that book I was going to give away soon :( The race looks pretty awesome. A jacket is nice race bling too. Flights to Utah are always more for our airport than Colorado.. that's why we always ski in Colorado!

After 4 years I have MADE IT! No actually they have been reaching out to like every running blogger lol. I am just happy a couple people were able to get a free entry! I will hit you up the next time I do a giveaway. Don't you like my low tech solution though?
